The Grip-n-Grip no-slip mat is the answer to all the prayers of those textile artists that have been frustrated by fabric that won't stay put while embellishing. Those of you who have tried to make rubbings with Shiva paintsticks, those who have tried to paint on fabric, and even those of you affixing rhinestones to a garment may have prayed to the textile gods for just this very thing!

This 12.5" x 17" mat is made from a heat resistant rubber that won't move about when laid down on a table, and fabric will 'stick' to it rather than slide. When making rubbings with Shiva paintsticks, just place this mat on your work surface, put the rubbing plate on top of it, and then lay your fabric over the two, and say goodbye to sliding rubbing plates! You can heat press or iron fabrics directly on this mat, making placement of tiny rhinestones easier as you don't have to move anything to heat set.

A great little accessory for any textile artist, this no-slip mat has many, many uses.

Grips and holds the fabric making embellishing much easier.What a great idea.

not only to hold fabric in place but drafting paper and tracing paper as well. Just wish the mat was larger in size

It doesn't hold fabric securely. Both pure silk and cotton blend fabrics never were held even lightly in place. With each stroke of the fabric crayon each fabric would slip.

Awesome. I thought I could use those things that keep rugs from sliding. This is WAY better. I recommend some non-permanent tacky spray on the top or your rubbing plates too.

Works really well when used with rubbing plates - nothing moved at all. Unfortunately mine has an air bubble in it which would create an unwanted mark in my design if I used the mat to hold fabric still while I coloured it (as suggested by the manufacturer. Otherwise it would get 5 stars.

I do not like it ... it did not hold my silk scarves for painting but it does hold dog hair just fine. I will use it though not in the way it was advertised to be used.
